Using information from network meta-analyses to optimize the power and sample allocation of a subsequent trial with a new treatment [PDF]
Background A critical step in trial design is determining the sample size and sample allocation to ensure the proposed study has sufficient power to test the hypothesis of interest: superiority, equivalence, or non-inferiority.

Randomization methods and cluster size in cluster randomized trials conducted in elementary and high schools [PDF]
Background/Aim. Randomization allows for study groups to be formed so that they are similar in all characteristics except outcomes. The aim of this study was to examine the frequency of randomization methods and their effect on achieving baseline balance

OPTIMAL ALLOCATIONS FOR SAMPLE AVERAGE APPROXIMATION [PDF]
We consider a single stage stochastic program without recourse with a strictly convex loss function. We assume a compact decision space and grid it with a finite set of points. In addition, we assume that the decision maker can generate samples of the stochastic variable independently at each grid point and form a sample average approximation (SAA) of ...

A biobjective method for sample allocation in stratified sampling [PDF]
The two main and contradicting criteria guiding sampling design are accuracy of estimators and sampling costs. In stratified random sampling, the sample size must be allocated to strata in order to optimize both objectives. In this note we address, following a biobjective methodology, this allocation problem.

Density Peak Clustering Based on Relative Density under Progressive Allocation Strategy
In traditional density peak clustering, when the density distribution of samples in a dataset is uneven, the density peak points are often concentrated in the region with dense sample distribution, which is easy to affect clustering accuracy.

Weighted K-nearest Neighbors and Multi-cluster Merge Density Peaks Clustering Algorithm [PDF]
Density peaks clustering (DPC) algorithm is a clustering algorithm based on density. The algorithm is simple in principle and efficient in operation, and can find any non-spherical class clusters. However, there are some defects in the algorithm. Firstly,
